Police stopped teachers from Chhindwara and Seoni at Chhindwara railway station on Saturday, confiscating their mobile phones, as they were heading to Delhi for a planned TET protest.
On Saturday, police personnel barred a group of teachers from Chhindwara and Seoni at the Chhindwara railway station, preventing them from traveling to Delhi. The teachers were slated to join a larger demonstration against the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) scheduled in the capital.
According to reports, the police not only stopped the teachers but also seized their mobile phones, citing security concerns. The detained educators were reportedly on a special train arranged for the protest, which was to coincide with a broader teacher movement in Delhi.
The incident was covered by local media, including Amar Ujala, and no injuries were reported. Authorities have not released an official statement explaining the rationale behind the detention, and the teachers' plans to participate in the Delhi protest remain uncertain.
